Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve

Hymn:

Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve,
And press with vigor on;
A heavenly race demands thy zeal,
And an immortal crown.

‘Tis God’s all animating voice,
That calls thee from on high;
‘Tis his own hand presents the prize
To thine aspiring eye.

A cloud of witnesses around,
Hold thee in full survey;
Forget the steps already trod,
And onward urge thy way.

Blessed Savior, introduced by thee,
Our race have we begun;
And crown’d with victory, at thy feet
We lay our trophies down.
